    I got into caregiving after finding an assisted living facility for a school project at which I could complete the 20 volunteer hours I needed. After the assignment I decided I liked the environment and residents so much that I applied to be a caregiver there and I got the job. I like to get to know my residents on a personal level and care for them as they were my own family members. I try to be as understanding and patient with them as I can. Among my residents I am well known to joke around and make them laugh, and do my best to meet their needs.

    I became a caregiver way back in the eighties, managing Adult Foster Care homes in Beaverton. These were level two to level three homes. Residents were diagnosed with some Alzhiemer, and parkisons and different types of dementia. I left it for a while for a singing career as well as looking to be more in the social field at that time. I have semi-retired lately after helping my Father in law with mesothelioma which He succumbed to. I was asked soon after to care for my best friend who had pancreatic cancer. He was sent home and I helped him out, did not have a salary, because He was my friend and He went home to Jesus. I decided to rest awhile after all that and now 3 years later am ready to return to work. I do not have a license to drive due to a DUII, which all the requirements have been met, and probation completed… So I will have to be limited I suppose until I am able to drive again
